Abstract

This study aims to describe students’ opinions about the effectiveness of the online (online) learning process and what obstacles occur during lectures during the Covid-19 pandemic period. The online learning process in question is learning using I-learning in the form of an LMS (learning management system) provided by Andalas University. This study took a sample of 46 students of the Agribusiness Study Program who attended lectures in the odd semester of the 2021/2022 academic year using a quantitative descriptive method. The data is then processed using Google Forms which is then tabulated. Based on the data processing and analysis results, it is known that the online learning process carried out using the Andalas University I-Learning learning media is effective and efficient. Lecturers use additional learning media such as zoom meetings, google meetings, MS Team, and WhatsApp media as part of a long-distance face-to-face communication system with students. Lecturers also provide varied learning methods to help students understand the material, form independent learning, and increase students’ active participation in learning activities. This study also obtained constructive suggestions from students regarding improving the online learning process that lecturers must carry out. The obstacle felt by students related to online learning using the LMS is the limited accessibility of students in accessing the LMS. If the network is constrained in the student’s domicile area, a small part of which is in areas that have limited cellular networks and some features in the LMS that are less practical, thus hampering the learning process in the LMS. Thus, it is still necessary to develop more practical online learning media by the university so that the digital and online learning process can be more effective and efficient.
